How to force AD attribute update when no change occured in OneIM?

Question

Hello, 
 
 I would like to provision some AD attributes based on the values I have in OneIM knowing that no changes occured in OneIM. 
 
 We are using OneIM 7.1.2 and Active Diretory 2012. We already had an almost "out-of-the-box" AD synchronization project set. 
 
 What would you recommend?

Hello, Thank you very much for you answer, this sounds like a really good idea. Actually I decided to generate a process using a step of type ProjectorComponent - AdHocProjection. This includes a run parameter ("ForceSyncOf") which allows to specify the attributes I want to update. Be aware that the list of attributes should be a list of comma separated column names (even if run parameter description says "."). Please find attached an example of process.
